Review
As we all know, human beings have come to the top of the food chain by relying on the power of evolution, which also means that human evolution is far more complex and strict than other organisms.
About 200,000 years ago, homo sapiens living was the ancestor of human beings, but in fact, before Homo sapiens, humans had many brothers and sisters, but the last to come down was only Homo sapiens, and other compatriots either went extinct or stopped evolving.
In modern times, we can still see the shadow of human evolution in some animals, such as the transition product of humans and chimpanzees - "Orangutan" Oliver; The creatures were so human-like in appearance that they had not been able to complete their final evolution like Homo sapiens, which was really unexpected.
Crazy ape experiments
Around the 1960s, soviet scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov conducted high-profile experiments on ape hybridization, and as a famous scientist in the field, Ivanov should have enjoyed the high honor of animal hybridization, but this inhuman experiment not only deprived him of everything as a scientist, but also gave him a notorious hat.
The purpose of the experiment has been impossible to verify, it is said that the Soviet military intends to develop a "ape-man army" whose physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, and this army will be the main force on the Battlefield of the Soviet Union in the future; It has also been said that this is nothing more than a humane experiment by the zoologist Ivanov to satisfy his personal ambitions.
In any case, the experiment was carried out with the support of the Soviet government. At first Ivanov injected human male sperm into guinean adult chimpanzees to test whether human genes and orangutans could be compatible, resulting in a new species of half-human, half-ape.
But the experiment failed, and no matter how Ivanov selected the subjects, changing the proportion of sperm did not help. Ivanov was already in a frenzy at the time, and he thought that the reason for the failure of the experiment might be that the orangutan's womb could not form a fertilized egg with male sperm, and if the subjects were switched, the experiment might be successful.
However, the laws of various countries have clearly stipulated that it is not allowed to use humans as a carrier to do hybrid experiments, and injecting male chimpanzee sperm into the body of human women is an ethical and moral act.
But Ivanov secretly recruited female experimenters to carry out the experiment to the end. He was expelled by the French governor who knew the truth, and never again had the honorific title of industry expert.
Leaving aside the madness of this experiment, Ivanov's choice to use chimpanzees as human hybrids shows that humans and chimpanzees have many similarities, and although the genetic sequences of the two are different, they are also homologous, but chimpanzees chose another path when they evolved, which is what we see.
Was Oliver a product of experiments?
But did you know that American newspapers in the last century reported on an unheard of creature - orangutan, the Los Angeles Times named this orangutan Oliver, its appearance is too weird, although it has similar hair to orangutans, but its pelvic structure is obviously close to humans, which gives it the ability to walk upright.
The Los Angeles Times believes that Oliver is likely to be the missing link between humans and chimpanzees, or can be called a chimpanzee subspecies, which is what they look like in the next stage of evolution.
Oliver was purchased by a couple of animal trainers in The Congo in 1960 and has performed on stage many times since, and humans can't see the shadow of chimpanzees in humans, and some are more like the appearance of humans before they were civilized.
Can you believe it, under the training of humans, Oliver even contracted a smoking addiction, he did not like to get along with orangutans, there was no physical impulse to female chimpanzees, but also showed a disgust. Later, Oliver was well known to people around the world through Japanese television, and caused quite a stir at the time.
Everyone is speculating about Oliver's origins, and due to the experience of the former Soviet mad scientist Ivanov, many people do not believe that Oliver is a subspecies of chimpanzees, but believe that he is the product of artificial experiments. Although Ivanov failed, no one can say with certainty that the "ape hybridization" experiment was completely stopped, and those crazy scientists did everything.
This matter was very big at the time, the "human-beast hybridization" experiment a few years ago was in turmoil, and now the news of Oliver was suddenly reported, which is difficult not to suspect that a scientist's crazy experiment was successful, Oliver is the product of the experiment!
Later, the incident alarmed Japanese scientific research institutions, in order to verify the authenticity of this statement, many scientific research institutions lent Oliver from the TV station and sent it to the laboratory for DNA traceability research. The final experimental results found that Oliver had 48 chromosomes, which determined that he was not an experimental product of ape hybridization.
It is well known that people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 1 pair of sex chromosomes and 22 pairs of autosomals; Chimpanzees have 24 pairs of chromosomes, and the order of amino acids on cytochrome C is basically the same as that of humans, and the combination of the two parties is definitely unable to produce 48 chromosomes. After that, Oliver's farce finally came to an end.
epilogue
At the end of the story, Oliver actually lived to be 55 years old, even though the average human lifespan at the time was about this stage; But because scientists haven't found Oliver's population, we can't determine whether the chimpanzees in front of us are "transitional products" in human evolutionary history.
Many people say that Oliver was trained by the circus to be so similar to humans, but he can't always be trained in life, right? The average lifespan of chimpanzees is around 30-35 years, and Oliver has clearly surpassed chimpanzees by many to the average level of human lifespan.
This was the last time Oliver had moved closer to humans, and his life had long ceased to evolve, and although he had habitually moved closer to humans, the appearance of an orangutan could not be changed.
